   Everything about our evening was lovely. Tony was an outstanding waiter, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. The noise level was low so conversation was easy. We’ll go again!!

   We had made reservations far ahead of time and they stuck us in a back small room behind the wall of wines (FYI: when you make a reservation make sure you point out at the notes that you DO NOT WANT THAT ROOM). When we asked to be moved the hostess shrugged us off and told us we need to wait for an hour cause there were other people ahead of us. Luckily the manager was EXTREMELY nice and accommodating and managed to move us to another table within 10 min. The service was EXTREMELY slow and the restaurant is seriously understaffed at least concerning waiting staff. It took 30 minutes to get a drink order and another half an hour to get a food order after we had to find the waiter ourselves. He was polite and smiling but obviously overworked and tired. The food was good but not awesome so we would have forgotten all the initial issues. I would maybe go back but not on a busy night…

   Stopped into Lombardi on a whim while in town from New York, just looking for a good plate of pasta and a proper martini. Gotta say—I was impressed. Pasta was fresh, sauce had that real-deal depth, and the martini was ice-cold, just how it should be. Perfetto. But what really made the night? Natasha, the bartender in the pink glasses. She’s got that perfect mix of warmth and personality—makes you feel like you’ve been coming here for years. Attentive without hovering, knows her cocktails, and just brings great energy to the place. Una vera stella. Next time I’m in Dallas, I’m heading straight back. If you go, sit at the bar. Trust me.

   A Night to Remember at Lombardi! From the moment I stepped into this restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance was stunning—elegant yet inviting, with warm lighting that cast a golden glow over the beautifully set tables. The rich aroma of their crackling wood fire can be sampled before you even enter through the door. I originally planned to sit at a table, but after a glowing recommendation from a friend, I decided to take a seat at the bar instead—and I’m so glad I did. That’s where I met Natasha, the bartender who single-handedly elevated my entire dining experience. She was an absolute gem—knowledgeable, charismatic, and genuinely passionate about culture of food & cocktails. Natasha anticipated everything I needed before I even had to ask. She guided me through the cocktail list with expert recommendations, crafting a drink that paired perfectly with my meal. Her attention to detail was impeccable, from the way she presented each cocktail with beautiful finesse to the effortless way she balanced attentiveness without ever feeling intrusive. And the food? Absolutely divine. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s mastery of Italian cuisine. The handmade pasta melted in my mouth, the seafood was perfectly cooked, and the sauces were rich yet delicate. Each dish felt like it had been prepared with love and tradition. Between the outstanding food, the breathtaking ambiance, and the above-and-beyond service from Natasha, this was a night I won’t soon forget. Whether you’re looking for an intimate dinner or a lively experience at the bar, Lombardi is truly a standout in fine dining. I’ll definitely be back!

   Very nice meal and good service - comfortable seating at a banquet - right by the bar but surprisingly quiet despite a busy restaurant.

   Our reservation was for a party of “4” at 6:00pm Friday evening. We were seated in one of the “half moon” bench tables which was extremely comfortable. Our server was prompt to welcome us and asked for our drink orders. After returning with our drinks order, we were asked if we cared for any “Starter”. We’s heard so much about their “Meat Balls” we just had to place an order. Those “5” meatballs were the VERY BEST” we’ve ever enjoyed. When our meals arrived we were blown away by the presentation and began enjoying “4” outstanding Pasta and Seafood meals. Just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bit, our server recommended two different desserts. OMG both were outstanding. All four diners highly recommend Lombardi’s Cucina Restaurant for any occasion.

    We came for dinner because we were in the mood for Italian food and haven't to Lombardi's before. Service was good... our waitress went through the motions but nothing stood out. The food was mediocre Italian at best. The gnocchi had too much mozzarella cheese but was otherwise passable. The octopus was a little too salty and just a little overcooked but still good. The meditarranean grilled fish (special) was way overpriced for overcooked fish and very mediocre sides. The brussels sprouts were so greasy, they were inedible. The peppers were not roasted peppers, but over sauteed with the skin on, leaving the bitter taste and texture of bell pepper skins. Two minutes to roast the peppers and peel the skins would have made a huge difference. The price of the wine is too high....$285 for Far Niente and $250 for Nickel and Nickel recent vintage cabs for example. All-in-all, a disappointment at the pricepoint. The one standout was the spinach ravioli with an addition of grilled shrimp.....very tasty.
